| 1 | * FanonDiscontinuity: Depending on how you view this episode, some fans pretend that it never existed because [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness none of the established rules on the space-time continuum that involves Reapers ever came back afterwards]]. |
| 2 | * FanNickname: |
| 3 | ** The Reapers were known as "Flying Killer Time Monkeys". |
| 4 | ** "Time monkeys!" briefly became a popular way to answer questions of the form "Why can't the Doctor just go back in time and..." |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 6 | ** The episode contains contemporary background music, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dinITz0Av1w a late-80s hit record]] by a Lancashire-born pop singer. The song? Music/RickAstley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", which would eventually become [[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} a massive internet meme]]. Nowadays, it's impossible to watch this episode without thinking "Hey, the Doctor just Rickrolled me!" |
| 7 | ** We're informed that the Reapers are here to "sterilize the wound". "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong The Wedding of River Song]]" illustrates what will happen if they don't sterilize the wound: [[TimeCrash profound]] [[RealityIsOutToLunch silliness]]. |
| 8 | * MemeticMutation: "GET IN THE CHURCH!" has been used frequently in edits, with the Doctor running onscreen whenever a church is mentioned. |
| 9 | * SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Before being cast as Rose Tyler, Creator/BilliePiper was best known as a flash-in-the-pan teen pop star. This episode in particular showed that she had real acting chops. |
| 10 | * SpecialEffectFailure: Let's just say that the effects on [[ClockRoaches the Reapers]] have... ''not'' held up well. |
